Cooler Pacific is causing global warming 'pause'

The global warming “pause” which some climate sceptics have taken as evidence that climate change is a myth could in fact be explained by a dramatic increase in the amount of heat being taken out of the atmosphere by the Pacific Ocean, a...

"This hiatus could persist for much of the present decade if the trade winds continue, however rapid warming is expected to resume once the anomalous wind trends abate,"

Though surface heat of Earth has stabilised since 1999, studies have found that atmospheric heat continues to rise unabated with the oceans absorbing a large amount of this heat and warming in the past decade (2000-2012). However, a new study by Sang-Ki Lee of the University of Miami, U.S., and others has found that the Indian Ocean has been warming the most rapidly while the...

The Pacific Ocean has been a planetary air conditioner for the past two decades, but the relief may soon end, a new study finds.
The Pacific and Atlantic oceans undergo decades-long natural oscillations that alter their sea surface temperatures. These natural cycles flip-flop between cooler and warmer phases. Over the past 130 years, the tempo of global warming has revved up or slowed down in tune with changing ocean temperatures,

In 1999, a circulation pattern in the Pacific Ocean changed suddenly, which some scientists say made global temperatures plateau and led to the global warming \"hiatus.\"
A new study, published this month in Geophysical Research Letters, lends weight to this theory. Using records stretching back to 1791, the study finds that a switch in the pattern has always been accompanied by changes in temperature in the north and south Pacific Ocean. It also affects the ocean heat content.

The rapid rise in global average air surface temperatures, linked to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, has slowed down dramatically. Has global warming really paused, or is this the beginning of the next climate crash?
In 1998 the Pacific Ocean released a huge amount of heat into the atmosphere and subsequent storms and floods sparked frenzied debate over man\'s hand in global warming. Since then global average air temperatures have actually fallen, and when leading environmental scientist Dr. Kevin Trenberth\'s hacked emails claimed that \"there was no global warming\", we had the Climategate Scandal of 2009. \"So we\'re getting this growing divergence between the observations and the climate model simulations\", says Professor Judith Curry. Scientists are now fighting to dispel the myth of a global warming pause, with alarming new data forecasting a new climate system that is set to get hotter.

Sea levels continue to rise due to climate change, and some countries may vanish into the ocean by 2050. The most at-risk is the South Pacific island nation of Kiribati. Coastal erosion and freshwater contamination could make Kiribati uninhabitable in the next 30 years. AJ+ traveled there to find out how its people are facing their uncertain future.

Some extraordinary phenomena have taken place in recent times; Hurricane Katrina, the heat wave of 2003, polar bear

At 165.2 million square kilometres (64.1 million square miles) in area, this largest division of the World Ocean – and, in turn, the hydrosphere – covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth's land area combined. The equator subdivides it into the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean, with two exceptions: the Galápagos and Gilbert Islands, while straddling the equator, are deemed wholly within the South Pacific. The Mariana Trench in the western North Pacific is the deepest point in the world, reaching a depth of 10,911 metres (35,797 ft).

The eastern Pacific Ocean was first sighted by Europeans early in the 16th century. Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama in 1513 and named it Mar del Sur (South Sea). The ocean's current name was given by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan during the Spanish expedition of world circumnavigation in 1521, who encountered favourable winds as he reached the ocean and called it Mar Pacifico in Portuguese, meaning "peaceful sea".
